Hi, I have two similiar spec'ed machines concerning CPU, Mem, and I/O and observed dramatic differences concerning startup times of soffice on both machines. So I gave it a try and took a first glance at the startup procedure using truss.
Like this I observed that on the slow machines, soffice goes through all kind of subdirectories in /usr/share/locale and seems to be opening all .so files available. A big number of files located there are contained in the SUNWgnome-l10nmessages-extra package. So I removed this package, which mainly seems to consist of mostly exotic localizations that we really don't need. Result: *boom*! soffice starts blindingly fast on this machine. I don't know if anyone is aware of this interaction and how it could be fixed, but I think this should be investigated, as it makes the combination of staroffice and solaris look very slow (several minutes startup time in contrast to only seconds), if the package in question is installed...
